For some reason, the American Federation of Teachers released a statement Friday on the United States’ missile strike in Syria.

“Syria’s barbaric use of chemical genocide required an immediate response, which President Trump’s missile strikes accomplished last night,” Randi Weingarten, president of the labor union, said in a statement, though it’s unclear why. “While we believe Trump should have gone to Congress first, I find it curious that many members of Congress who are applauding the U.S. strikes had opposed former President Obama when he sought congressional approval for similar action.”
